WELCOME TO YOUR JULY COMMUNITY EYE MAGAZINE I can’t believe the summer term at school is over and the kids have broken up till September! Here’s hoping for some warm weather so I can get my boys out of the house.

Fingers crossed we can all get out into the garden and enjoy the fruits of our labour from earlier in the year. Bel still has some gardening hints and tips for us so it’s not a time to sit still for too long!

I hope I see you out and about at some of the local events that are happening over the summer and fingers crossed for lots of good weather!

ROSEBERY GP’S ALPINE CYCLING CHALLENGE £4553 RAISED SO FAR! Largely due to a lot of encouragement by the readers of Loughborough Eye, Dr Guru Singh has continued to train hard for his forthcoming cycling challenge when he is hoping to cycle 360 miles in four days across the Alps from Geneva to Milan. During this ride he will be climbing a total of 17,000 feet.

Recently he took part in the Lincolnshire sportive during the British National Cycling Championships, riding 76 miles culminating on the brutal climb up the cobbles of Michaelgate in Lincoln. This weekend he is taking part in the Leicestershire Super Tour riding 90 miles through the stunning countryside around Loughborough and Charnwood and in August the now world famous Ride London 100.

At the age of 66 it is an effort that has taken him out of his comfort zone.

He has managed to lose 23 pounds in weight and is aiming to lose at least another 5 pounds to reach his ideal weight. As the training has gone up it has become harder to lose those final pounds because of

the body’s need to constantly refuel. However he hopes to be fully fit by early September for the challenge.

He is also hoping to inspire others to take up regular exercise and to think of positive health and weight management through sensible eating, drinking alcohol in moderation and to get involved in community activities.

Guru Singh’s fundraising for Hope Against Cancer, www.hfcr.org Leicestershire’s own charity that raises vital funds for research into cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment in the University Hospitals of Leicester is going well and currently stands at £4553. Thanks to the kids at C C Swimmers and Rose Bond for a sterling effort in raising £400.

Donations can also be made online on: http://uk.virginmoneygiving. com/team/hopesitalianjob www.justgiving.com/GuruSingh2 Text donations from £1 to £10 pounds can be made by texting to 70070 and writing GURU67 and £amount in the message field.

Sponsorship forms are available in Pedal Power on Loughborough Road, Rosebery Pharmacy, Rosebery Medical Centre, Outwoods Medical Centre, Forest Edge Surgery and Bridge Street Medical Centre.

Shepshed Lions Club 6th Annual Charity Carnival will take place in Glenmore Park, Shepshed on Bank Holiday Monday 31st August 2015. This is a muchanticipated annual charity event that is popular with all sections of our community. Posters have been prepared and will soon be appearing all around the town.

The Club is delighted to announce that, in addition to the normal acts and attractions, there will be a fly past by a World War 2 Dakota aircraft from the Battle of Britain Memorial flight over the Carnival site. There will be a live show by Mark and Twiggy from Oak FM from the Carnival on the day. There will be lots of things for the children to do, a Funfair, and Arena acts. This year we have

The results were finally announced late Saturday afternoon and with our second highest ever score in (79.1%) we finished 3rd, behind Great Western Chorus from Bristol and Cottontown Chorus from Bolton, both of whom scored over 80%, the first time two choruses have done so in the same BABS Chorus Competition!

However Grand Central Chorus are once again back in the medals and the whole chorus are delighted that we have been rewarded for all our work and effort and that our Zac has his first ever BABS medal as a MD.

The Right Honourable Nicky Morgan MP will open the Carnival at midday. Check out our Shepshed Lions Club Charity Carnival website at www.shepshedcarnival.org

The first-ever Loughborough Children’s Illustrated Literature Festival will take place in the town from 22-26 October 2015. The five-day event will be known as the Loogabarooga Festival, named after a common mispronunciation of the town’s name by some UK and international visitors.

The Loogabarooga Festival will be based on the theme of ‘incredible illustrations and brilliant books’ and will showcase new and existing illustrated literature for children through a series of workshops, events, readings and activities with appearances from some of the nation’s favourite children’s authors and illustrators.

Appearing at the Loogabarooga Festival will be Steven Butler, actor and author of Diary of Dennis the Menace, Tommy Dombavand, author of the Scream Street books, Steve Beckett, an illustrator for The Dandy and The Beano, and Korky Paul, author and illustrator of Winnie the Witch and more. Other activities will include Diary of a Wimpy Kid show and the Ladybird exhibition at Charnwood Museum.

logo in 1915 and the continued publication of generations of 'pure and healthy literature' for children.

The Loogabarooga Festival will coincide with Ladybird Books’ centenary in 2015.

Nicky Morgan, MP for Loughborough said "I am really looking forward to the first children's illustrated literature festival. Loughborough - or Loogabarooga - has long been associated with children's literature dating back to Ladybird books, which were launched 100 years ago in the town. This will be a perfect way to mark the centenary."

The Festival is supported by Charnwood Borough Council, Loughborough BID and Leicester Shire Promotions.

Councillor Hilary Fryer, Charnwood Borough Council's Cabinet member for Open Spaces and Leisure, said "I am delighted that Loughborough's literary history is being celebrated with the introduction of the festival.

This is a great way for us to share and enjoy illustrated literature and also encourage future generations to pick up a book and immerse themselves into the many worlds that have been created through storytelling."

Loughborough in Leicestershire has had a long association with children’s literature since the very first Ladybird book was produced by a jobbing printer called Wills & Hepworth in the town during the First World War. This was followed by the registration of the Ladybird

Martin Peters, Chief Executive of Leicester Shire Promotions, added “Although there are other established literature festivals established in the UK, the Loogabarooga Festival is the first of its kind dedicated to children’s illustrated literature.

With high profile authors such as David Walliams and Jacqueline Wilson regularly dominating the bestselling books charts, we can see how important this literature is to children and their families. We hope to capture and develop this interest throughout the Festival.”

LOCAL KNITTERS CLICK TO RAISE MONEY FOR LOCAL OLDER PEOPLE Age UK and Innocent Drinks help older people keep warm and well this coming winter Local charity Age UK Leicester Shire & Rutland is delighted with the response of local knitters to their Big Knit campaign to raise much needed money for the charity to help keep local older people warm this coming winter, but many more little hats are needed!

Local supporters have already knitted over 4,000 little woolly hats which will sit on innocent smoothie bottles early in the New Year in supermarkets and stores.

For each hat-wearing smoothie sold, Innocent will give 25p to the charity. Age UK Leicester Shire & Rutland last year collected an incredible 47,000 hats to raise a fantastic £11,750 which was put towards its winter warmth campaign across Leicestershire and Rutland.

SUMMER STARS HOLIDAY BIBLE CLUB IS BACK!

stories, treasure hunts, snack time and outdoor play.

If you are looking for a low cost, fun holiday activity for your children, aged 4-12, then Summer Stars may be just what you need.

Summer Stars will be running from 3-7th August, 9.30-11.30am and costs £2 per child per morning. It is held in the Hall at Mountsorrel Methodist Church and is run

by Loughborough Seventh-day Adventist Church.

07748 590594 loughboroughsdachurch@gmail.com

Places are limited so please call or email to book your child’s place:

The hats will adorn innocent drink bottles in chilly refrigerated cabinets and will remind people of the difficulties older people face when the temperature drops.

Nearly 90 per cent of all excess winter deaths are of people over the age of 65. Older people can be less resilient to cold-related illnesses especially if they have existing health problems. Older people are also the most likely to be affected by fuel poverty, so often cannot afford to heat their homes properly.

The deadline for sending the knitted hats in to Age Concern Leicester Shire & Rutland, Lansdowne House, 113 Princess Road East, Leicester, LE1 7LA is 31st October 2015.

RECORD BREAKING YEAR FOR THE CHARNWOOD FOREST CYCLE RIDE

Every 2nd Saturday of the month, 10-12.30 is Messy Church. Please come and join us on Saturday August 8th for free activities for the whole family, a short concert by the Summer Stars children and a Bring and Share lunch.

The club has now been running for 5 years and is enjoyed by up to 50 children each summer. Past activities have included craft work, drama, team games, cooking, parachute games, singing, Bible

This year’s Charnwood Forest Cycle Ride was the best yet, with a great turn out of 190 riders – which was a record number.

‘We would like to thank all our super cyclists, our wonderful marshals, our cake bakers and our helpers, we would like to give a special mention to our sponsors The Woodies and Bradley’s Supermarket, who have supported this event annually – thank you so much for your support.’ Emma Hallam, Alex’s Wish Founder and Alex’s Mum

Knitters can get the simple pattern from any of the local shops, the website (www.ageuk.org.uk/leics) or by calling 0116 2237344.

Anthony Donovan, Executive Director at Age UK, said “The more hats we make, the more money we can raise. It really is fun and relatively quick to do as the hats are so little. Yet this is more than a novelty idea - the act of knitting helps groups of older people get together and raise funds. Anyone can make a hat for us, and good knitters could use this opportunity to share their talents by teaching someone else how to make one.

Our target to match last year is a huge challenge and we need to ask our band of knitters to really rally round if it is to be met. We are so grateful to them.”

The event was photographed and filmed by Shadow Media, with the photos and film now available at www.alexswish.co.uk. There were some amazing sights including our first unicyclist who managed to do the full 20 miles.

FOUNDERS DAY On 1st July, Father Simon Giles joined with students and staff of our Lady’s Convent School (OLCS) in Loughborough to celebrate Mass on the feast of the School’s founder, Blessed Antonio Rosmini.

The School was established on its current site in 1850 and will in September join the Loughborough Endowed Schools Foundation. The Mass was a wonderful celebration of the School’s founder, involving students from throughout the School and embodying the philosophy of Rosmini.

Father Simon also focused on the stewardship of and care for our environment.

At the end of the Mass Father Simon presented, Head Girl, Joanna Siddall with copies of ‘Laudato Si’ on care for our common home’ by Pope Francis.

The School was delighted to have copies of this publication so soon and will be including it in the curriculum from September 2015.

Families who are considering an independent Catholic education for their children are invited to contact OLCS on 01509 263901 to arrange an appointment, or to attend the Loughborough Endowed Schools Open Day on Saturday 3rd October.

There will be an opportunity to meet staff and pupils, take a guided tour of the beautiful campus and specialist facilities, and find out more about the Schools’ future plans.

The weather was great and there was good back up and support from Raynet, St John’s Ambulance and Pedal Power of Loughborough, who were all working at the event to keep all the riders safe and on the road.

The last bits of sponsorship money have just been sent in and the event this year raised a massive £9,156.18 for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, an amazing record breaking amount.

‘Such a fantastic event. Brilliant route, well signposted, extremely friendly marshals and the other cyclists were all lovely, very friendly and supportive. Check in was easy, on line entry easy – very impressive. The cakes and tea included at the end were genius and finished off a lovely morning’ said Jessica Apps a cyclist that took part in the ride.

The history of Leicestershires woodlands

T

here is nothing nicer than a trip to a woodland in the summer to sit under dappled light and breathe in the fresh air.

We are lucky that we live in the National Forest and a significant amount of planting has been undertaken (8m trees by Oct 2012). However our local area has always been a low wooded area and the Victoria County History Trust has published some interesting information on the history of woodland in our county.

Leicestershire in 1086 was one of the least wooded counties in England. Converting from the length and breadth of woodland quoted in Domesday Book to hectares or acres is not an exact science, as few woods may have been rectangular, but other than ‘Hereswode’ which contained approximately 1,630 hectares (4,030 acres), only two manors, Groby and Thurcaston, may have had more than 400 hectares (1,000 acres) of wood. Most of the woodland was concentrated

in two broad sweeps of countryside to the west and the south-east of the county, but what is most striking when the distribution of woodland is plotted, is the number of places in Leicestershire that had no woodland at all. That may have been the case since the 5th or 6th centuries: place-names containing the elements bearu (wood), graf (small wood), leah (clearing in woodland), lundr (wood) sceaga (small wood), wald (high woodland) and wudu (wood) are also relatively uncommon and concentrated in these two areas.

Some parish boundaries and ancient tracks suggest that wood-pasture was only available at some distance from a settlement. There are several parallel tracks to the north of Leicester which appear to link meadow land along the Soar valley to higher grazing in the east

Leicestershire wolds, a few parishes have detached portions and to the south of the present city the boundaries of parishes including Narborough and Enderby were drawn to include long tongues which extended into what was once Leicester Forest.

RIGHTS TO TAKE WOOD AND TO HUNT! Estover was the right of a tenant to take wood, perhaps from some miles away, to repair his house or plough, and for fences and firewood. Wood was a valuable commodity and conflict often arose, for example from false claims that a tenancy gave that right, or when people took more than their entitlement in order to sell the wood at a profit. Lords might also try to rescind an earlier agreement to preserve the wood for their own use. In 1287 John le Fauconer claimed that for 6 years he had been prevented from taking his estovers ‘for burning, enclosing and building’ from John Comyn’s wood in Shepshed, a right which Fauconer claimed was attached to his tenancy in Thurcaston, over 10 miles away.

A case heard before the royal courts in 1240 concerned estover within a wood named ‘del Chalenge’ in the centre of Charnwood, but also set out the hunting rights within this land. In an agreement which almost foreshadows today’s Hunting Act, permission was given for the foresters of the earl of Arundel ‘to carry bows everywhere in the said woods, and arrows genderez and darts and shafts without the arrow being barbed’, and for the earl to hunt there, so long as his party took into the wood no more than ‘nine bows … and six hounds only for taking wounded deer, and without a pack of dogs and harriers’.

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile!

Advertisement

It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services.

Managing Director Michael Parr feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we can replace

the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee.

But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps.

Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done.

We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer

requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’

Cloudy2Clear service Loughborough & the surrounding area and Michael is finding that his approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I

get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated.’

So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Michael a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

Available in 7 designs, and mainly printed onto soft chenille which is suitable for all kinds of soft furnishings, it also includes two fabrics specifically designed for upholstery.

Choosing Climbers

S

ummer is well under way and we’ve been lucky to have some lovely sunny warm days to enjoy in the garden.

At this time of year it’s great to sit back and relax, enjoying the fruits of the hard labour and soaking up the colour and fragrance of the surrounding plants. What’s better than a sit beneath a climber clad pergola or against a warm wall smothered in fragrant blooms?

Climbing Rose

There are all sorts of climbers available in our local garden centres and nurseries. Which to choose to cover a pergola, fence, arch or an obelisk can be a tricky when you’re faced with so many.

Clematis are rightly popular, they come in such a huge range of colours and there’s one for every site and every season. The brightest and most bold are the summer flowering hybrids like ‘The President’ & ‘Hagley Hybrid’.

They flower prolifically on long shoots from May to September depending on the variety. These love sunny spots but the alpine and macropetala types will cope with shady spots too. Clematis climb by wrapping their leaf stems around supports, so wires stretched over a surface will give them the means to spread.

For Fragrance

The much loved Honeysuckle (aka Lonicera) is the most iconic of fragrant climbers. The scent can knock your socks off on a

warm sunny day! Varieties like ‘Graham Thomas’ and ‘Halliana’ have lovely yellow blooms where as ‘Serotina’ or ‘Belgica’ have a pink blush. Honeysuckle twines so it needs something for support – preferably trellis or batons as wire itself can just cut into the stems causing problems later.

Roses are a classic with blousy blooms with richly scent from spring to late summer. ‘Climbing roses’ are well behaved for smaller spaces and ‘Ramblers’ are best suited to large spaces where they can extend their long stems up, over and along.

Evergreens

If you’ve an unsightly building to cover or screen then evergreens are of most use as they will give all year round interest. A popular choice in this situation is Ivy (aka Hedera), left to its own devices it can become unruly and damage the surface it sticks to but if it is trimmed and contained it can give great colour in green, gold to silver shades along with berries once mature. If you’d like some flowers too try Clematis armandii which has scented blooms in spring and is clothed in glossy green leaves all year.

Self-clinging Types

Self-clinging climbers are really useful for areas which have tricky access. Ivy is the best known type but Virginia creeper (aka Parthenocissus) and the gorgeous Star Jasmine (aka

Trachelospermum jasminoides) have adventitious roots too, which develop along the stems and stick themselves to the surface.

The former has wonderfully colourful foliage in autumn and the later is clothed in the most heady fragrant blooms through summer. Keep these contained to ensure they don’t cause damage to gutters, wood work and brick work on older buildings.

Annual Climbers

For temporary screening or to clothe arches and obelisks it’s worth trying annual climbers like Sweet Peas, Morning Glory (Ipomea) and Black Eyed Susan (Thunbergia). Buy seeds for these from the garden centre and sow inside in the spring, then plant out after the frosts have gone and they will grow rapidly and flower throughout the summer months.

If you are looking for some garden inspiration, next month I’ll be reviewing some of my latest projects creating, designing and developing gardens from English country to contemporary spaces.

If you’re looking for design or planting advice, I offer a tailor made service from consultations & planting plans to full garden rejuvenation projects. Give me a call to discuss your requirements or check out my website for more details.

I

know that schools in Leicestershire have now finished for the summer so I hope everyone had a good end of term and I wish all students waiting for exam results the very best of luck.

And I hope everyone, whether staff or pupils or families has a good summer break.

One piece of disappointing recent news has been the Government’s decision to pause the electrification of the Midland Mainline. This is something I campaigned very hard for in the last Parliament and worked with Midlands and South Yorkshire MPs across the House of Commons to secure this. I cannot, however, argue with the need for Network Rail to get a proper grip of the costs of these projects given they are spending hard-earned taxpayer’s money. Some of the works such as the line improvements at Market Harborough and Derby will go ahead and I shall continue to press the Government and Network Rail for a timetable for the full electrification project. I have spoken to both the Secretary of State for Transport, the Rail Minister and Network Rail about the decision and the knock-on effects.

Many readers will know of my commitment to better mental health provision locally and nationally. In my role as Secretary of State for Education I have

focused on mental health support for children and young people and better joint working between schools and the health services.

We have a long way to go on this but the Government has pledged over £1 billion to be spend on CAMHs in this Parliament.

Locally I have been working with a talented and committed group of people on a proposal to set up a community drop-in facility for young adults with mental health needs and we hope this will also provide advice and assistance for their families and carers too.

The Loughborough Wellbeing Project has moved a step closer with its launch at the beginning of July and we have a venue at Loughborough library. More details will follow but if you are interested in finding out more please do get in touch.

Finally I know the state of our grass verges has caused some fury locally. I have raised this with the Leader and Chief Executive of the County Council. Whilst local budgets do continue to be squeezed there is no excuse for the agreed schedule of cuts not to be followed and, when the cutting takes place, for it to be of poor quality.

LOUGHBOROUGH MP ENCOURAGES RESIDENTS TO NOMINATE THEIR LOCAL HIGH STREETS FOR AWARDS Loughborough MP Nicky Morgan is calling on local residents to put forward their favourite local high streets for the Great British High Street Awards 2015.

After the success of last year’s awards, Nicky is encouraging her constituents to get behind local high streets here in Leicestershire.

Last year, high streets, towns, villages and cities up and down the country entered the competition and proved just how great our high streets really are and how important they are to our communities. This year, however, Nicky is pushing for a winner here in Leicestershire.

year it would be great to see one of our local high streets recognised.

You can nominate your high street online – but the deadline is 17th July – so be quick!”

JONATHAN MORGAN Getting the Job Done

Over the past four years funding to local government has stayed roughly constant in cash terms which has meant an effective reduction, adjusted for inflation, for most councils. This has been the case for Charnwood as well as Leicestershire County Council.

Each of the authorities has had to take decisions about how they manage their services given their financial positions.

A year ago Leicestershire County Council decided that it would no longer fund warden services to residential homes in Charnwood, nor would it fund the current Lifeline system provided to the most vulnerable residents.

Charnwood Borough Council took the decision last week to step in and carry on funding both of the services because they thought they were too important to their residents, and as a result of this decision, the Borough has now allocated £385,000 to cover the services each year.

Holding Councils to account

On a similar note you may have read recently about the County Council’s decision to reduce the number of times it cuts the grass across the Borough to help balance its books. Almost all of the grass that you see adjacent to our roads belongs to the County Council, so the amount of grass to be cut is quite significant.

Many people have, quite rightly, pointed out that the grass has not been cut for a long time and whilst the County Council eventually responded to the requests to cut it, we’ll have to wait to see whether the County manages to complete the five grass cutting sessions this year that it has planned. It’s important that residents contact their local County Councillor if they believe that the grass is not being cut properly, or if they believe it hasn’t been cut five times by the end of the year.

SHEPSHED INNER WHEEL CLUB

Once again the panel will be looking for the nation’s best high streets across the same seven categories.

You can find out more at www. thegreatbritishhighstreet.co.uk/ high-street-of-the-year-award where you can also nominate your local high street.

Nicky commented “Last year’s competition was great, but this

The deadline for applications is 1st September 2015.

Shepshed Inner Wheel Club handed over a cheque for £1140 at our July meeting. The cheque was presented to Maggie Deere from Rainbows by Sally Small, the President of Shepshed Inner Wheel Club. Rainbows was Sally's chosen charity for the year, as her granddaughter Ella attends Rainbows for respite care. The money was raised during the year by various fund raising events, mainly centred around food.

The Borough Council, along with many other parish and town councils, recently held discussions with the County Council about cutting the grass verges themselves. However, it was clear that the amount of money that the County Council was offering the Borough was less than the cost of doing it whilst the Borough would have liked to have carried out the task to its own standards, the additional costs would have resulted in difficult decisions elsewhere (such as the provision of Lifeline and warden services).

There are important lessons to learn from this - that authorities need to be held to account about the services they promise to offer against the services they deliver, and as councillors we have to hold officers to account on behalf of our residents.

Core Strategy

Following the recent General Election there have been various announcements relating to planning and the need for more homes. Over the past decade the rate of new homes built in our country has dropped enormously - as a result the percentage of people owning their own home has also dropped for the first time. It’s important that any new homes are built in the correct location for the communities they serve, which is why, following years of discussion and consultation, the Borough’s Core Strategy set out a plan for new homes and businesses for the next 15 years. The Strategy is ready to be signed off following the Planning Inspector’s examination, but we now wait to see whether the latest announcement on planning reform have any effect on the Core strategy’s implementation.

CARILLON TOWER & WAR MEMORIAL MUSEUM 1pm - 4.30pm Every day, except Monday - 01509 263370 - carillonmuseum@gmail.com - www.loughborough-rollofhonour.com CAPTAIN LOGAN In the last newsletter I told of visiting Leicester Cathedral and spotting a plaque on the wall commemorating Captain Henry Spencer Logan and that we had a chair in the museum that he had presented to the officers of the Leicestershire Regiment in 1890.

I had been unable to find any details of the circumstances of his death and appealed for help. As always Marigold Cleeve came to the rescue, I have reproduced her contribution in full.

Captain Henry Spencer Logan was born in Birkenhead in 1869, the son of Crawford Brown Logan, a wealthy solicitor from Birkenhead, and his wife Wilmot Jane (née Harvey). Captain Spencer was educated at Eagle House School, Wimbledon, and Uppingham.

He joined the Leicestershire Regiment as a Second Lieutenant on 29th March 1890. In 1891 he was stationed at the Tower of London. Promoted to Lieutenant on 18th May 1892, he is listed on the 2nd Battalion Muster Roll for that year. He was promoted to Captain on 19th January 1900.

He was an instructor at the Royal Military College in Canada, served with the Leicesters’ in South Africa and Madras, India, and was subsequently, from December 1904, attached to the Egyptian Army.

Captain Logan was not married.

DONATION TO LEICESTERSHIRE SCOUTS We were pleased to be able to find a suitable home for some scouting objects we had in our collection.

Following an enquiry, was there a Scouts Museum? We discovered that there is a small collection at Oaks in Charnwood camp site and the intention is to grow it to show the history of scouting in Leicestershire.

The items we had were in storage and unlikely ever to see the light of day in our museum so it was satisfying to be able to place them

with an organisation that will not only value them but display them for others to enjoy.

Thanking us for the items they pointed out that the neckerchief was of special interest as it had belonged to District Rover Crew between 1963 -68. The leader, Mr George Winnert and his wife had hand embroidered them and this was only the second example they had seen.

MRS PAULINE CUTTER Pauline was a long serving volunteer, secretary, committee member and museum guide, always willing to cover the rooms and a lady who got enormous pleasure from her association with the carillon.

Unfortunately the years have finally caught up with her and she is no longer able to carry on with her duties and has settled down for a peaceful retirement at Huntingdon Court.

As a token of our appreciation and knowing her love of the carillon we presented her with a framed photograph of the carillon with a message over printed thanking her for her loyal service. She was clearly delighted at the gift. The framed photo was produced by Mr Peter Minshall.

POST WW2 CONFLICTS ADEN We are planning to develop our display of post WW2 objects and stories; after all military history did not come to an end in 1945.

It will be in two parts, a display in the Yeomanry Room telling the ‘Cold War’ story and a second display in the Airborne Room featuring other conflicts.

Here is a interesting (well I thought it was) film made in 1964 about Britain’s involvement in Aden and upcountry in the Radfan Mountains, the rebels or dissidents as they

Just look where it got them, the country is in absolute chaos.

We need some help, we are about to lose two of our volunteers for a couple of months just as the school holidays start and we need to find cover. Can you spare a couple of hours a week? No experience needed. A simple task of manning the two upper rooms. Meet and greet visitors and just keep an eye on things. We are open every day except Monday 1.00pm till 4.30 pm (Children not allowed upstairs without a responsible adult). Email us at carillonmuseum@gmail.com

WHAT’S NEW ?

Following a talk that I gave to the ‘Curiosity Club’ about the building of the Carillon Mrs Sylvia Wade approached me to offer, to the musum a small booklet entitled, I Am Kept, a religious publication of thoughts and letters by Tpr Charles Harold Mawson who was killed 12 Oct 1917 in the Great War, I was on point of politely declining when something caught my eye, inside the booklet was two BAFSVs (British Armed Forces Special Vouchers) In about 1961 I was in Berlin and the army was still being paid half in German Marks and half in these vouchers that could only be spent in the NAAFI so I recognised them immediately. I looked on the internet and was quite surprised to find that they were still in use in Berlin up to the late 70s.

It was something to do with the governments reluctance to buy foreign currency. I do remember that they were easy to dispose of too the National Servicemen who on 29 shillings (£1.45) a week could not afford the Berlin night life and were happy to exchange their Marks for BAFSVs

COMPETITION

WIN

A VISIT TO THE

KINGFISHERS’

POOL VINEYARD

TO COLLECT A

MYSTERY PRIZE!

K

ingfishers’ Pool Vineyard has won two medals in the prestigious United Kingdom Vineyards Association (UKVA) competition, which is the only national competition for English and Welsh wine.

The still dry white wine made from Siegerrebe and Solaris grapes, called King Richard, won a silver medal. This wine is made in the boutique winery at the vineyard in Rothley.

The pink sparkling wine, Spirit of Freedom, made from Orion, Siegerrebe, Regent and Pinot precose grapes, won a bronze medal. This was made from the Rothley grapes, which

were sent to Halfpenny Green Vineyard in Staffordshire who have considerable experience in the complex process of making sparkling wine by the traditional method (methodè champenoise) using disgorgement which takes two years.

Vineyard proprietor, Liz Robson, said “This is the first time I had entered a wine completely grown, produced and bottled by myself into a national competition, and when I saw the results and the words “silver medal” I had to read the text several times before I could believe it. Spirit of Freedom had already attained commended in the International Wine Competition so the bronze was

with his university friend Thomas Babington and drafted the act of parliament to abolish the slave trade there. There is a history section on the vineyard website www.rothleywine.com which explains further.

Liz retired last July from her full time position as principal lecturer in midwifery at De Montfort University to devote more time to the vineyard, which started as a hobby in 2008. She is enthusiastic about local history which is apparent in the names of the wines. King Richard is probably obvious. Spirit of Freedom is named for William Wilberforce who stayed frequently at Rothley Temple (now Rothley Court Hotel)

The vineyard is small, but determined to succeed in producing fine quality wines with a distinctive Leicestershire identity. The vineyard’s four wines are sold under its company name of Rothley Wine Ltd and can be purchased from a number of local retailers, wine bars and at Ragdale Hall. At the moment the vineyard is not open to the public, but this may change next year once a toilet has been built.

The Wars of the Roses were a series of battles fought in medieval England from 1455 to 1485 between the House of Lancaster and the House of York. The name Wars of the Roses is based on the badges used by the two sides, the red rose for the Lancastrians and the white rose for the Yorkists.

The wars ended when Richard III, the last Yorkist king, was defeated at the battle of Bosworth in 1485 by Henry Tudor founder of the house of Tudor.

After the battle Richard’s corpse was taken to Leicester and buried without pomp. His original tomb is believed to have been destroyed during the Reformation, and his remains were lost for more than five centuries. In 2012, an archaeological excavation was conducted on a city council car park on the site once occupied by Greyfriars Priory Church where his remains were found.

Kingfishers’ Pool Vineyard have marked these historical events by launching their Wars of the Roses Wine. Their King Richard wine is a full bodied white and has recently won a silver medal at the UKVA wine competition.

Accompanying this white wine is a medium dry rose wine named Battle Royal. What a wonderfully symbolic way of commemorating this historic event.
